NVX Business Edition RNDX4210 won't power on
I recently powered down NVX and removed cables and bays before unscrewing and removing sides and top covers and cleaning dust with compressed air can. I've done this successfully before, following a ...
The cheapest way is to modify the cable pinout yourself to adapt it to the NVX. http://www.readynas.com/download/archive/pdf/ReadyNAS_PSU_pinout.pdf
This isn't the cheapest, but avoids that hurdle and should fit: http://www.evercase.co.uk/CompatibilityListReadynas.htm £60 excl VAT&PP

mdgm: Other than my NAS, I haven't made the leap yet of converting to Linux, so what you're proposing would be too ambitious for me at the moment. :robotfrustrated:
StephenB: Your second link states it doesn't come with a tray. Does that mean it just lays on the existing tray and slots into the back as displayed on the opening image of the embedded video of the link?
I notice also that the power cord would be inserted at 180° to its default position. Not an issue?
I also read about the additional fan, vent holes, blockage etc. Will there be additional strain, ease or no difference on the NAS as a whole?
Finally, for peace of mind, does this PSU fit perfectly and not have any of the issues I read on other threads requiring aluminium, duct tape etc.?

I haven't purchased this myself. Here's one post from a user who had no difficulty installing: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Probably-power-supply-issue/m-p/1178323/highlight/true#M120484
There are several other posters who reported success (using various NAS), I'm not seeing any of the issues you are concerned about on their threads. Of course I might have missed something - hopefully a community member who has used this supply in an NVX will chime in.
